February 23, 2026 updated by: RenJi Hospital

Comparison Of Percutaneous Mechanical Thrombectomy With Different Access in Treatment of Acute Deep Venous Thrombosis (The CODA Study)

The study aims to compare the modified approach through ipsilateral deep calf venous access or contralateral femoral venous access with the traditional approach through ipsilateral popliteal venous access for iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis (DVT) with distal popliteal vein thrombosis, and determine whether it can achieve similar therapeutic effects as iliofemoral DVT without distal popliteal vein thrombosis.

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is associated with development of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Early removal of iliofemoral thrombosis by percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) may reduce the incidence of PTS. In general, PMT is performed through ipsilateral popliteal venous access as a traditional approach. However, the thrombosis in distal popliteal vein cannot be removed. Previous study demonstrated that the residual thrombus may decrease the efficacy of PMT. The study aims to compare the modified approach through ipsilateral deep calf venous access or contralateral femoral venous access with the traditional approach for iliofemoral DVT with distal popliteal vein thrombosis, and determine whether it can achieve similar therapeutic effects as iliofemoral DVT without distal popliteal vein thrombosis. The purpose of this study is to obtain high-level evidence for the endovascular treatment of acute DVT.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available.

Iliofemoral DVT with distal popliteal vein thrombosis treated by PMT through the modified access
Anterograde venography shows patients with iliofemoral DVT with distal popliteal vein thrombosis. PMT is performed via ipsilateral distal calf venous access or contralateral femoral access.
Procedure: Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) by the modified approach
The modified approach includes the ipsilateral calf venous access and the contralateral femoral venous access. Through contralateral femoral venous access, a hydrophilic guide wire and a catheter will be crossover through the thrombus side to the distal calf vein. The ipsilateral calf venous access will be punctured under the guidance of ascending venography. A hydrophilic guide wire and a catheter will be used to pass through the thrombus antegrade to the inferior vena cava. Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) catheter will be used to clear the thrombus. After PMT treatment, residual thrombus will be reevaluated by ascending venography. Catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) will be conducted if there is residual thrombus. Percutaneous balloon angioplasty (PTA) and stenting will be conducted if there is >50% stenosis of the diameter of the iliac vein.
Iliofemoral DVT with distal popliteal vein thrombosis treated by PMT through the traditional access
Anterograde venography shows patients with iliofemoral DVT with distal popliteal vein thrombosis. PMT is performed via ipsilateral popliteal venous access.
Procedure: Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) by the traditional approach
The traditional approach will be punctured from the ipsilateral popliteal vein under ultrasound guidance. A hydrophilic guide wire and a catheter will be used to pass through the thrombus antegrade to the inferior vena cava. Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) catheter will be used to clear the thrombus. After PMT treatment, residual thrombus will be reevaluated by ascending venography. Catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) will be conducted if there is residual thrombus. Percutaneous balloon angioplasty (PTA) and stenting will be conducted if there is >50% stenosis of the diameter of the iliac vein.
Iliofemoral DVT without distal popliteal vein thrombosis treated by PMT
Anterograde venography shows patients with iliofemoral DVT without distal popliteal vein thrombosis. PMT is performed via any access, such as ipsilateral femoral venous access or ipsilateral popliteal venous access.
Procedure: Traditional approach
The approach will be punctured from either the ipsilateral femoral vein or popliteal vein. A hydrophilic guide wire and a catheter will be used to pass through the thrombus antegrade to the inferior vena cava. Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) catheter will be used to clear the thrombus. After PMT treatment, residual thrombus will be reevaluated by ascending venography. Catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) will be conducted if there is residual thrombus. Percutaneous balloon angioplasty (PTA) and stenting will be conducted if there is >50% stenosis of the diameter of the iliac vein.
